OXFORD LETTER.
The School is pleased to welcome Mlle.

Many papers, including " The Times," singled him out for commendation. Final Schools next term have prevented him from signing a contract (for a fabulous sum) with a well-known film company. But his destiny may yet be to outshine Lloyd, Fairbanks, and Chaplin. N. Dobree (Balliol), did not thus succumb to the lure of the footlights, for his car held greater attractions. Even a London
